The Global Methane Pledge: How VAM Mitigation Fits into International Climate Goals

Methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide, is a far more potent greenhouse gas, trapping significantly more heat in our atmosphere over a shorter period. Recognizing this urgent threat, over 150 countries have joined the Global Methane Pledge (GMP). One significant source of anthropogenic methane emissions, particularly in countries with active mining operations, is Ventilation Air Methane (VAM).

• Direct Emission Reduction
  VAM mitigation contributes is by directly reducing methane emissions into the atmosphere.
• Rapid Climate Impact
  VAM mitigation now can lead to a more immediate cooling effect, buying critical time for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
• Technological Innovation and Deployment
  Cost-effective VAM abatement technologies are making them accessible to a wider range of mining operations globally.

For sectors like coal mining, this translates into a renewed focus on understanding and mitigating VAM emissions. As countries work towards their 2030 targets, we can expect to see increased investment in research and development, policy incentives for VAM abatement, and broader adoption of existing and emerging technologies.
